Hi everyone- I’m Greg Giordano, AKA, FLAMEAPE. I’m an artist from Burlington, VT and this is my 2nd 30 Characters Challenge. I’m getting started late due to a 2 week stint in the hospital, but I sketched allot of characters while on my back- so I’ll be posting my first 10, catching up and moving forward! Great to see all the cool posts- looks like I’m in good creative company.
Ciao!

I'm a bohemian, freelance fine artist/illustrator/multimedia designer stubborn ape-man. comic book illustrator and /filmmaker/animator/ in the past and for long-term ambitions. I like to cook. 'Tend to be more of a Coffee house type. Art & film fan: I dig experimental & highbrow while gobbling up the guilty pleasures of underground and lowbrow. Basically I'm a crazy Sicilian/Puerto Rican-artist-Geek!
For my whole life I've been an artist. No weekend warrior- every day. I don't like the so-called "real world"; I feel much better off for being either in collision with it or via creativity, providing my tiny fraction of an alternative to it's grind. Art and creativity, dreams and stories- all that is the only bulwark against the dehumanization of the stuff that can get us down and ground up- so I plan on being part of making the former.
Art=action=alternatives. Nuff said.
Currently, I am producing art in preparation of the release of a webcomic with creative partner/friend, Bill Woodcock, Jr. This Graphic Novel in serialized form called HOLLIDAY.
YES!
I owe you a phone call, bud!
